A string of hostile incidents in Winnipeg, which included two cars with U.S. licence plates being keyed, has some United States Air Force members stationed in the city speaking out.
As a partnership with the United States, somewhere between 10 and 100 American troops help out at the Canadian base in Winnipeg.
"Some of the dependent spouses and things of that nature have gotten some profanity at local business establishments, and some have been told to go back home," said Hardeman.There was also an incident where two cars were keyed because of their American plates. "Our American colleagues are very aware of this, and they certainly don't want to be a factor of the COVID-19 or a threat or a danger to us," said RCAF Col. Eric Charron, "They wouldn't be serving in this capacity if they didn't believe that."
